Suggest a sub amp to power NHT 2.9 bass?

I have a pair of NHT 2.9 towers driven by McCormick DNA 0.5. Would like to biwire and not quite sure of which sub amp will supply enough power to drive the bass. I have heard that the NHT SA-3 Sub Amp would be an adequate choice.

Like clean, crisp highs and soft, detailed, yet ample bass output. Heard that 2.9s require alotta power and I feel that I need more and that biwiring is the answer.

Any suggestions?

Two SA2 sub amps would work.

Also, THX rated amps have gain controls per channel. So you can use a normal 2 channel amp like the Parasound HCA1500 205x2 or the 1000A 130x2.

And yes, you would be passively biamping (and must remove the jumpers on the NHT 2.9 speaker terminals).
